I hated flash video too, but more because I use a Minefield(firefox) 3.1b2pre 64bit browser.
And since Adobe doesn't have flash 4 64bit browsers...well i just hated it a lot flashvideo playing.

Anyway, since a while Youtube offers High Definition Video.
And that is so good. Not because the quality is so much better. (it's like high definition for a playstation portable )
But because now it's so simple to download Youtube video's with your browser!
Unfortunately this method only works with the newer HD video's on youtube.
On this site you can see how it works:

It's so simple.
All you need to do is make a bookmark toolbar button:
name:
Get Youtube video
url:
javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt=18 ... ='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

Now goto youtube and select a page with a HD video. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_q ... type=&aq=f and select the video you want(really you don't need flash), then click on the "get youtube video" in your bookmark toolbar, and omg you get a browser download window to download a MP4 containerfile with aac audio and avc1 video.


So in other words, VLC plays youtube HD video. Now it would be nice if vlc has sort of button(or browser 4 youtube) with this javascript, so that if you got a browserwindow open, you only need to press a button in vlc to download&play the youtube HD video.

We all prefer HD quality over the crappy Youtube quality and even the so called "new Youtube HD quality" feature is as crappy
as the old one. Stage6 used to be amazing but too bad it's was only a promotion of their web player..

I've had plans for a stage6 quality like video sharing website to use amongst friends but I'm waiting for the time VLC will have good browser plugin support, no flash video for me!
